Topic: One of the smartest men on the planet is...a CREATIONIST!!! (Read 4367 times)

IF you have any rebuttal to some of his theories consult him...and good luck! Nonetheless, the whole point is this guy has a TREMENDOUS science background and CANNOT conclude anything other that a CREATOR being responsible for these patterns transcending many different sciences. If you think you can answer his MANY unanswerable questions then consult him...good luck because you are in over your head.

It has been known for some time that the IQ of atheists is "reportedly"(FALSE) higher than creationists and this is also a joke as demonstrated in one of Dr. Hovlind's videos. 160 professors "refuse"(wonder why) to make even one single point against Dr. Hovlind.

"When we landed on the moon, that was the point where god should have come up and said 'hello'. Because if you invent some creatures, put them on the blue one and they make it to the grey one, you f**king turn up and say 'well done'."

Qwan Lee, you fail to convince me of your arguments. You fail to engage us in discussing any of these links/videos you post. I can only conclude that you are unwilling to listen to other people, suggesting your prefer ignorance over knowledge, therefore admitting to me that all the arguments you're posting up are null.

Instead of spamming us, engage us, hmm? How else are we to learn?

If you're talking about Ken Hovind, the man is a fraud. The thesis he wrote for his PHD to become Dr Hovind was put up on the internet and when I started reading it, I found that as an essay, particularly from a man who claims to be a scientists and claimed to teach science for many years, it was underwhelming. But he graduated from Patriot University, which has very low standards and his thesis is testament to that. The degrees from the University have no state recognition and is not recognised by the department of education. It is a bible University too. He is not officially recognised as a doctor, yet, he fraudulently calls himself one.

Plus, the man is a convicted fraudster, tax fraud, obstructing federal agents and smurfing. In essence, this man is clearly dishonest and a liar. His take on the world of science is no different. [edit] Ironically the first thing he brings to attention in the video is what the bible says about lying.

I've watched some of his lectures and seriously, he makes a lot of stuff up and it's impossible to debate with somebody who makes stuff up, because they just defend themselves with made up stuff. What Dr Hovind does is psuedo-science, it sounds like science and may convince somebody who does not understand science, but those who do understand science can see its flaws.

But imagine arguing with a guy who makes stuff up in response:The Earth is round.Not, it's a cuboid.Here's a picture of the earth.It appears so due to how light refracts when in a vacuumA vacuum doesn't do that, here's an experiment to show youBut according to this made up theory, which is backed by many scientists offer different resulsWhich scientists, in which field?Terra-cuboidologists who have PHDs in Terra-cuboidology

[edit]Watching that and I can see his willful ignorance all over. Completely ignoring the claims of evolution scientists and their piles of evidence. The way he presents the 'opposing' argument is very inaccurate and I'd go as far as suggesting that it's dishonesty on his part. A man in his position will surely have had the actual claims and evidence put before him - heck, he'd only need to read on of those textbooks he claims are telling 'lies'. He's relying on the ignorance of the audience to peddle his faith.

quan, are you actually going to find the courage to engage with us? I'm not interested in listening to Kent Hovind; even a cursory search shows the man is a fraud and liar who brings nothing new to the creationism / evolution "debate".

The reason people refuse to talk with him is hardly out of fear of him being right; creationist "arguments" have been proven hollow again and again. Hovind's goal (and the goal of most creationists who seek confrontations like this) is simply publicity and an opportunity to preach. Most of those he challenges see no reason to give him that. Period.

If you really want to persuade us your views have weight, have evidence backing them up, then stop just posting links and actually put some effort into defending those views. That is what gets you (and your ideas) credibility on this forum. Assuming that's your goal.

Live a good life... If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid.--Marcus Aurelius

Here's how the makers of the video acquired their list of professors who refused to debate this schill.

From the start of the video:

"Ask your professors if they will defend evolution in a public format. If they will call our office to schedule a time. If they refuse, please send thier name/classes they teach and school info to Jonathan@drdino.com so we can add their name to the ever growing list."

I got about 7 minutes in. We would have no morality without god, so it is a good thing that we have the 10 commandments. And 2004 atheist online gun fights. I think presented as an illustration of our lack of morality. But I didn't stay for the punchline.

He then suggests all these jokes people made reflect the attitude of atheists and compares that to of the catholic church a few hundred years ago. Suggesting that we want to forcibly silence other people. Complete bullcrap basically.

I think this is another testament to why people don't want to debate him, he's very selective. Unfortunately, people buy into all that crap.

Ken Hovind is about as honest as well...an evangelic preacher. Ted Haggard is another liar for Jesus. But when found out, no, no, no it's just the devil's work, I am a man of God and they peddle their bullshit and massage it into your brain, almost enough to feel sorry for them. If I were a Christian, I think I would be angry at these scum of the earth, because they're just bullshitting my holy text and trying to sell Jesus.

CNN, FoxNews and Wikipedia tell me the same thing in the first paragraph of his background:

"Since January 2007, Hovind has been serving a ten-year prison sentence after being convicted of 58 federal counts, including 12 tax offenses, one count of obstructing federal agents, and 45 counts of structuring cash transactions. He is incarcerated at the FPC Satellite Camp of the ADX Florence prison in Florence, Colorado."

Exactly how much teaching o his "truth" does he do in prison?

My advice on how to get smart: QUESTION EVERYTHING. Sheesh, you don't apply for jobs without googling your prospective place of employment, do you?

2nd of all, if all you believe in is peer-reviewed papers, you won't go very far in life...

Hovind is a snake-oil salesman - he spreads ignorance and superstition. He took the banana as proof that evolution could not be true - search for that video on Youtube. And then look up the strange way the banana actually became a banana.

Now, what would Jesus say to all that?

Nobody says “There are many things that we thought were natural processes, but now know that a god did them.”

Few learned people want to "debate" neo-Nazis or KKK members, either. It does not prove that the person is right. It only means that they are repellent and untrustworthy. Their ideas are not even worth rebutting in a public forum, because it only gives them media attention and legitimizes them.

What would be gained by a "debate" with a clown who is not really concerned with science or education, and only wants to make you look foolish in public? Why would a reputable person "debate" a known con artist?[1]

No qualified scholar or professor wants to be seen on the same stage with that guy for the same reason no respectable political leader wants to be seen with Lyndon LaRouche or Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Correction - they had asked 146 professors to debate Hovind prior to the taping of this video, but they declined.

This only explains the remaining 14 professors on their list with better things to do.

I have a pdf copy of his doctoral dissertation. It is about 6th grade level work. Unorganized, redundant, says nothing new, makes claims but does absolutely nothing to establish their veracity, etc. He should be in jail just for that.

IF you have any rebuttal to some of his theories consult him...and good luck!

Oh for fuck sakes.

Could it be that the 160 would rather not be associated, or have conversations, with a paranoid, fraudulent, ignoramus creationist criminal that's in prison ?

Me thinks so.

"I believe that there is no God. I'm beyond atheism"....Penn Jillette.

I really don't care who believes what. Be it one person or three billion, they don't see basic biological evidence, no matter how much they want to claim that they do. I don't give a flying left-or-right what the smartest man on Earth believes. Also, I'm simply not buying that this guy's intelligent in the least.

QL this is not humourous. Surely you intended your post and the video as a sick joke. Hey! It worked. You snookered a whole gaggle of very bright respondents into considering that you might be serious.
